Abstract:
Disclosed are biosynthetic methods and engineered microorganisms that enhance or improve the biosynthesis of 6-aminocaproate, hexamethylenediamine, caproic acid, caprolactone, or caprolactam. The engineered microorganisms are modified to include, for example, upredulated and/or exogenous transporters for 6-aminocaproate, deletions and/or downregulated importers for 6-aminocaproate, upregulated and/or exogenous glutamate dehydrogenase, and/or deletions and/or downregulation of res A and/or cpsBG. Other engineered microorganisms may have disruptions of endogenous transporters for 6- aminocaproate.
Abstract:
Disclosed are methods and engineered microorganisms that enhance or improve the production of crotyl alcohol. The engineered microorganisms include genetic modifications in alcohol dehydrogenase, alkene reductase or both enzymatic activities. By such genetic modifications, a crotyl alcohol production pathway is provided or improved.
